not a 'line but saw a light blue/baby blue toyota 2000GT today at rooty hill driving in the opposite direction along the bridge just past the RSL. So surreal, almost rear ended the car in front as I was looking :woot:

+ a yellow 240z datto I always see getting around rooty hill/ blacktown

Not a Skyline but saw a Nissan Cube with skylinesaustralia.com sticker across the windscreen heading towards the harbour bridge this afternoon/evening.

and I thought we were traveling Ninja style and would never get spotted in that!

jeebus! I thought they only existed in GT5

spotted a silver 33 , very nice and clean, metal ink sticker and stamp in the rear garnish part thing came into my work today and i did some tyres for ya :P

should remember me , i got stuck in your bucket seat hahaha.

also the NA white r33 with black bonnet green p's i think might work for mazda west gosford

and spotted about 5 other r33's pass my work ( usually do everyday)

Spotted, waved, & beeped the Handleys 'cruising' in their yellow GTR race car in traffic very early this morning in Carlingford :D:action-smiley-069:

perfect commuter car :D

I spotted Charlie's red stealth ute this morning

jeebus! I thought they only existed in GT5

I thought so too, man if I had that, a hakosuka & a 240z I'd die a happy chappy

I was born in the wrong era :rolleyes:

gunmetal grey R34 GT? (green P-plater) tailgating me the other day, if you're on here slow down mate,

take it out on WSID wed nights :thumbsup:

two teenage looking asian guys in a black R35 GTR about 11pm tonight on the way to city along pac highway cremorne, followed them all the way to bridge.

pulled up at lights and gave them the thumbs up and asked if they wanted to 'swap'?

they giggled like school girls then gunned it on green losing serious traction (road was wet), i let them take off then went my own way.

sigh, so unfair.

Spotted a silver 34 GM30VR on cumberland hwy near m4 turn off this morning around 10am and a black 32 gtst FAT32R with gtr wing and gtr badge near bunnings ashfield on parra rd around 6pm. U guys on here?

i know that comment was from a few years back now, but just found my car on the search then. i recently just bought this car (GM30VR), so hope to see you SAU guys out and about soon!

Saw an R33 GTR this afternoon on Canal Road/Ricketty Street on the bridge over the canal.. Was that you Aphex?

I swear whoever it was pulled a face going past.. laugh.gif

If it was around 2:30-2:45ish that would've been me. Was coming back in from out west! I've given up the wave and have taken up the nod, but with my large melon it can look comical!

Spotted a stack of 33's today too, including a nice black 33 GTST along airport drive and into the M5 tunnel etc.

Yep round that time.. Mate what colour is your car?? I swear at first I thought it was midnight purple (ish) then in my mirror it was grey!

Given up the wave too.. Too many ermm.gif looks..

It's actually the factory "Dark Grey Pearl" but i know what you're saying there. I thought it was going to be midnight purple when i turned up to look at it the first time!

The car's been nicknamed "the black pearl" because everyone thinks it's a different colour... and it's a bit of a boat... and i have a red beard...

    • That's odd, it works fine here. Try loading it on a different device or browser? It's Jack Phillips JDM, a Skyline wrecker in Victoria. Not the cheapest, but I have found them helpful to find obscure parts in AU. https://jpjdm.com/shop/index.php
    • Yeah. I second all of the above. The only way to see that sort of voltage is if something is generating it as a side effect of being f**ked up. The other thing you could do would be to put a load onto that 30V terminal, something like a brakelamp globe. See if it pulls the voltage away comepletely or if some or all of it stays there while loaded. Will give you something of an idea about how much danger it could cause.
    • I would say, you've got one hell of an underlying issue there. You're saying, coils were fully unplugged, and the fuse to that circuit was unplugged, and you measured 30v? Either something is giving you some WILD EMI, and that's an induced voltage, OR something is managing to backfeed, AND that something has problems. It could be something like the ECU if it takes power from there, and also gets power from another source IF there's an internal issue in the ECU. The way to check would be pull that fuse, unplug the coils, and then probe the ECU pins. However it could be something else doing it. Additionally, if it is something wired in, and that something is pulsing, IE a PWM circuit and it's an inductive load and doesnt have proper flyback protection, that would also do it. A possibility would be if you have something like a PWM fuel pump, it might be giving flyback voltages (dangerous to stuff!). I'd put the circuit back into its "broken" state, confirm the weird voltage is back, and then one by one unplug devices until that voltage disappears. That's a quick way to find an associated device. Otherwise I'd need to look at the wiring diagrams, and then understand any electrical mods done.   But you really should not be seeing the above issue, and really, it's indicating something is failing, and possibly why the fuse blew to begin with.
    • A lot of what you said there are fair observations and part of why I made that list, to make some of these things (like no advantage between the GSeries and GSeries II at PR2.4 in a lot of cases) however I'm not fully convinced by other comments.  One thing to bare in mind is that compressor flow maps are talking about MASS flow, in terms of the compressor side you shouldn't end up running more or less airflow vs another compressor map for the same advertised flow if all external environmental conditions are equivalent if the compressor efficiency is lower as that advertised mass flow takes that into consideration.   Once the intercooler becomes involved the in-plenum air temperature shouldn't be that different, either... the main thing that is likely to affect the end power is the final exhaust manifold pressure - which *WILL* go up when you run out of compressor efficiency when you run off the map earlier on the original G-Series versus G-Series II as you need to keep the gate shut to achieve similar airflow.    Also, how do you figure response based off surge line?  I've seen people claim that as an absolute fact before but am pretty sure I've seen compressors with worse surge lines actually "stand up" faster (and ironically be more likely to surge), I'm not super convinced - it's really a thing we won't easily be able to determine until people start using them.     There are some things on the maps that actually make me wonder if there is a chance that they may respond no worse... if not BETTER?!  which brings me to your next point... Why G2 have lower max rpm?  Really good question and I've been wondering about this too.  The maximum speed *AND* the compressor maps both look like what I'd normally expect if Garrett had extended the exducers out, but they claim the same inducer and exducer size for the whole range.   If you compare the speed lines between any G and G2 version the G2 speed lines support higher flow for the same compressor speed, kinda giving a pretty clear "better at pumping more air for the same speed" impression. Presumably the exducer includes any extended tip design instead of just the backplate, but nonetheless I'd love to see good pics/measurements of the G2 compressors as everything kinda points to something different about the exducer - specifically that it must be further out from the centerline, which means a lower rpm for the same max tip speed and often also results in higher pressure ratio efficiency, narrower maps, and often actually can result in better spool vs a smaller exducer for the same inducer size... no doubt partly due to the above phenomenon of needing less turbine speed to achieve the same airflow when using a smaller trim. Not sure if this is just camera angle or what, but this kinda looks interesting on the G35 990 compressor tips: Very interested to see what happens when people start testing these, and if we start getting more details about what's different.
